Does anyone here know where else do they sell this outside of UK?
Night nurse is a cocktail of over the counter medicines akin to our Nyquil. However, the bit that makes you sleepy is the antihistamine Promethazine. Since I don't want all of the other stuff in these cocktails, I generally just buy knockoff benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCL) which has the same drowsy side effect and is often the main ingredient in over the counter sleep-aids or "night time" medications.

and I'm out like a light on flights. Also works great to help get over jetlag.
